USFL has players listed 3-4 inches above their measured height

They have a 5-11 player at 6-3

What we know: Don’t pay attention to his listed height and weight on typical sites, this hulking righthander is 6-foot-7 and at least 270 pounds, though some believe he tops 300.

You wanna know how screwed up MLB is

Felix Bautista is listed at 6-5 190 on the Orioles roster when he looks 260.

6-7 Ben McDonald also says he's taller than him. Said he grew 3 inches in the minors. The listed weight is obviously hilarious

Why would they be that lazy in not updating his stats
Jawilder said on 13/Apr/22
@viper I think Merriman is the most over listed guy on this site, but to be fair he does give off a 6’3+ impression sometimes. But I think he’s 6’2.25.
viper said on 11/Apr/22
To tell you how good of an eye I have for height estimation, Kevin Gausman looked 6-1.5-6-2 up close when he was listed at 6-3. A few years later he's listed at
6-2. Confirms what I saw.

Gausman was originally listed at 6-4

Merriman looked 6-1.5-6-2 up close.
viper said on 10/Apr/22
They boosted Cordale Flott by 2 inches
Jawilder said on 9/Apr/22
@viper I recall his dad saying Stingley Jr. grew after high school and was closer to 6’2, which also made me think he was the actual 6’1. He was listed as 6’0.5 on 247. I’m surprised… even tho I shouldn’t be 🤣.
viper said on 9/Apr/22
Physically that's definitely not a 6-1 player in that pic
viper said on 9/Apr/22
Stingley looks 6-0 at most with 6-2 Grant Delpit.

viper said on 9/Apr/22
If Stingley attended the Senior bowl he may have measured a tad shorter than
6-0.2
Jawilder said on 7/Apr/22
@viper I really thought Stingley would be a solid 6’1. He looked it on the field easily. And with Patrick Peterson who measured 6’0.25, he looked an inch taller imo. My old roommate, who was my height exactly, said Stingley looked taller than him at a college bar. That’s why I was surprised he only measured 6’0.25. As far as York, you might be right. He looked pretty identical to me and I walked past him a couple times.

Kirkland had a 42 inch vertical. Sick

Imagine from a running start
viper said on 6/Apr/22
That pro day tracker isn't the best because a lot of those heights were just taken from the combine
viper said on 6/Apr/22
Stingley also measured 6-0.2 at the combine.

York's measurement is a flub. I think he measured 6-0.4. At the combine it was
6-0.6
viper said on 6/Apr/22
The chances of Stingley being his listed height were slim
viper said on 6/Apr/22
You're way off on Stingley

Stingley - 6-0.2
Flott - 6-0.4
York - 6-1.4

Stingley got 6’0.25
York got 6’1.5
Jawilder said on 5/Apr/22
Waiting for Derek Stingley Pro Day measurement. I’m guessing 6’1 flat
viper said on 31/Mar/22
Some of these pro days start at 8 AM.

Some of them start as late as 3 PM
viper said on 31/Mar/22
I wish there was a good pro day results tracker like last year
viper said on 29/Mar/22
Kari Elam measured 6-0.7 at his pro day.
Click Here

He measured 6-1.4 at the combine.

Never seen that before.
Jawilder said on 27/Mar/22
Yeah with my 5’7 sister he looks my height. With Eli I thought he looked 6’0.75. Very very strange .
Canson said on 27/Mar/22
@JaWilder: that’s very strange. I wonder if he was measured straight out of bed. But even then it’s usually 3/4” variance. My guess is that 6’1 1/2 is in shoes and that he measured at least a couple hours out of bed (2-3) and that he was 6’0.5” tops or even lower
viper said on 27/Mar/22
They couldn't have fudged both measurements could they?

If he had gotten 6-1.5 I would say they just took it from the combine.

But he got a different measurement at
6-1.4
Jawilder said on 26/Mar/22
Click Here

If you scroll down you will see 6 ft 5/8 measurement for corral. That’s what he was on draft scout for two years also.
Jawilder said on 26/Mar/22
I still don’t buy it 😭😭😭. I’m giving him the same height as me!
Canson said on 25/Mar/22
@Jawilder and Viper: yea but notice where they say “unofficial”. I believe the combine measurement is more accurate than this one
Jawilder said on 24/Mar/22
Wow Corral measured 6’1.5” at pro day. I guess I’m wrong but I really don’t think he looks that at all.
viper said on 24/Mar/22
Corall measured 6-1.4 at his pro day

Click Here

What's surprising is that not only is he 6-1, he's a solid 6-1
Canson said on 24/Mar/22
@Viper: I can see an argument for 6’2 or 6’2 1/4 at times or even 6’2.5. But he did look 6’2” max next to 6’5.75” Martellus Bennett
Canson said on 24/Mar/22
@Viper and Ian: I thought he measured 6’2 3/8” at the pro day?
viper said on 24/Mar/22
Nope, he measured that at his pro day and looked 6-1.5-6-2 up close
Ian Omom said on 24/Mar/22
@Viper isn't 6'2 a wee bit too low for Shawne?
Jawilder said on 23/Mar/22
But yeah I think Merriman is the most over listed on this site from what I know.
Jawilder said on 23/Mar/22
@David Tang hope all is well with you. Yeah well my sister has a picture with Corral and he isn’t over 6’1, plus he’s been listed at 6’1 before and also had a 6’0 5/8 measurement. Maybe he got up on his toes lol or they just added an extra inch?
viper said on 23/Mar/22
Jerry West is almost like Merriman. He's 6-2 and claims 6-4.5
David Tang said on 23/Mar/22
Hey jawilder and Canson, wassup. I think I know the explanation for Matt and sams measurements. Could they have been busting a gut or slightly raised their feet off the ground. Also the combines are usually morning so you have to consider that too. I notice no one ever considers those two factors in nfl measurements besides the time.
Jawilder said on 21/Mar/22
@Canson yeah it definitely wasn’t noticeable. Same with my dad who is 6 feet flat now. I feel like he is the exact same height as me but I’m taller by 3/4 an inch.
Canson said on 19/Mar/22
@Viper: that’s sort of what I was thinking. He could be 6’0 3/8 perhaps if he’s similar to Jawilder. At that stage it’s only 1/4” difference and not noticeable
viper said on 16/Mar/22
Possible that 6-1.25 is in shoes.

UNC has Sam Howell at 6-1.25 and he's
6-0.25
Jawilder said on 14/Mar/22
@Canson pro football network and the athletic have York measuring 6’1.25”. I don’t think draft scout has updated yet. But I’m guessing he’s basically my height. That’s what he looked like the couple times I walked past him.
Canson said on 14/Mar/22
@Jawilder: that’s possible but surprising. His combine measurement suggests to me that he’s probably 6’0.25 or so at a low. Those are usually around an hour out of bed
Jawilder said on 13/Mar/22
@Canson I can definitely see York measuring 6’1.25” an hour or so out of bed. But no chance in hell Corral measured 6’1 5/8 barefoot lol. That surprised the hell out of me
viper said on 13/Mar/22
6006 is 6-0 3/4

6007 is 6-0 7/8
Canson said on 13/Mar/22
@Jawilder: I wonder if it’s a shoe measurement? From what I’ve seen, the combine measurements are all higher than the senior bowl measurements this year.
viper said on 12/Mar/22
That's combine
Jawilder said on 12/Mar/22
@viper and canson The site won’t link with the measurements, but the theathletic.com has York measured at 6’1.25”. All the other measurements from that site are same as other sites I have been seeing. I think the 6’0.75 is the draft scout measurement because it had an asterisk on the site you were looking at
Canson said on 12/Mar/22
@Viper: was the 6006 his combine or a Pro Day? Too bad he wasn’t a senior because the Senior Bowl would really tell us from this year as many measurements were lower than the combine.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kyler Murray was measured at 5’9.1 out of bed and given the inch or even 5’8 7/8 and given 1.25” for a sneaker. He looks a full inch shorter than Marqueese Brown who is a legit 5’9 guy (5’9 3/8 at the combine which probably puts him at 5’9 flat give or take 1/8”
Canson said on 12/Mar/22
@Viper: was the 6006 his combine or a Pro Day? Too bad he wasn’t a senior because the Senior Bowl would really tell us from this year as many measurements were lower than the combine
Canson said on 12/Mar/22
@Viper: that’s not 6’0.6. That’s 6’0.75” that he measured. 6006 would mean 6’0 6/8” which is equal to 6’0.75. 6’0.6 would be 6005 since they’re measured in 1/8” increments. That would make him the same height as Jawilder if York measured that at a low. But seeing as how it’s a combine measurement it would likely mean Jawilder is slightly taller than York and that York may only be 6’0.25 at his low
viper said on 10/Mar/22
Cade York measured 6-0.6

Click Here
Jawilder said on 10/Mar/22
@viper 6’0 5/8 at a low.
viper said on 9/Mar/22
Jawilder how tall are you
viper said on 9/Mar/22
Similar to Kyler Murray.

No way he measured 5-10.1
Jawilder said on 8/Mar/22
Meant to say I never saw Damone Clarke in person for class. I saw him walking around campus once and could tell he was over 6’2.
Jawilder said on 7/Mar/22
@Canson and viper Cade York measured 6’1.25”. He was very similar to my height when I saw him. Flott got 6’0.5” which makes sense because I felt a little taller than him when I saw him. I think they added an inch for Matt Corral, he’s probably 6’0 5/8 imo. What y’all think?
Canson said on 7/Mar/22
@Viper: Aidan Hutchinson skipped the senior bowl but measured 6’6.75 at the Combine and 6’6 5/8” at the Pro Day. Combine measurements appear to be the highest this year. I bet he’s 6’7 1/8 out of bed and 6’6 1/8 or at best 6’6.25 afternoon height
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Most of the measurements with asterisks were their height at the all star game they played, not their combine measurement
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Tariq Woolen measured 6-4.1 at the combine and 6-3.3 at the senior bowl
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Chad Muma supposedly measured 6-3.0 at the combine

He measured 6-2.3 at the senior bowl
ChaosControl2 said on 7/Mar/22
viper said on 6/Mar/22
They had JT Woods at 188 pounds.

Now he's at 195. Strange

That could vary over a couple of days. If one was early in the morning and he was a bit dehydrated it hadn’t eaten and the other was a few days later in the evening after a lot of water and a large meal or two. I know I can vary a decent bit, I usually claim 205 or 93kg cause I’m within it but I’ve had days where I eat and drink a lot and the next morning I’m 208-210 or if I don’t get as much to drink as usual I’ll be 201-203
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Flott supposedly measured 6-0.6 but it has an asterisk by it

Click Here
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Flott is listed 6-0 here

viper said on 7/Mar/22
They have changed some of the weights the last couple of days.

Also Myjai Sanders went from 242 at the Senior Bowl down to just 228. He's an edge rusher. Some speculate he's 258. He was listed at 255

So he went from 6-4.3 242 at the senior bowl to 6-5.2 228 at the combine
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Corall is listed at 6-0

6-1.5 is really hard to believe
viper said on 7/Mar/22
Clark has 6-2 3/8 at the Senior bowl and 6-4 1/4 at a pro day
Jawilder said on 7/Mar/22
@Canson it’s funny because I actually had Clark in one of my classes but it was online. He would always answer the teachers questions lol, cool guy. These measurements have varied so much, I don’t even think I can really trust them anymore.
Canson said on 6/Mar/22
@Jawilder: yea this proves that someone like merriman might not be what he’s listed. I’ve seen a 6’4 1/4” for Clark and a 6’2 5/8 both. I’d guess he measured 6’2 5/8 and is probably a 6’2.25-.5 guy normally. Then 6’2 1/2”
viper said on 6/Mar/22
Myjai Sanders measured 6-4.3 at the senior bowl and 6-5.2 at the combine.
viper said on 6/Mar/22

Canson said on 6/Mar/22
@Viper and Jawilder: there was a large variance between the measurements at the combine and senior bowl
viper said on 5/Mar/22
They are changing some of the heights at the combine.

Yesterday they had Jordan Davis at 6-5.2

Today he's at 6-6.3
viper said on 5/Mar/22
Howell is the same height as Mayfield and his play reminds me of Baker
Jawilder said on 5/Mar/22
@viper Gonna watch out for Cordale Flott who I was a bit taller than. Also Damone Clark who looked about 6’2.5 when I saw him up close.
Canson said on 5/Mar/22
@Viper: not all tight ends were. Greg Dulcich shows 6’3 3/4” at the senior bowl and 6’4 at the combine but Grant Calcetera shows 6’3 7/8 at the combine and 6’3 1/4” at the senior bowl. I wonder how that happened or if maybe he wasnt as tall as he wanted and got the benefit of laying down at the combine before being measured since most players usually lose about 1/4” or 3/8” before being measured. But then again Isaiah Likely was 6’4 at the bowl and 6’4 1/2 at the combine so you have a point. That’s about the norm or maybe 3/8”. Maybe the combine measurements for some were under an hour after waking
Jawilder said on 5/Mar/22
@viper Drummond and Corral are definitely both below 6’1 at a low.
viper said on 5/Mar/22
Marcus Allen looks taller with Ray Lewis than Merriman ever has

Click Here
viper said on 4/Mar/22
A couple of wide receivers actually measured a bit shorter at the combine.

The tight ends at the senior bowl look like they were measured in the late afternoon-night
viper said on 4/Mar/22
I found an obvious mistake

Dontaric Drummond measured 6-1.7 at the combine and 6-0.4 at the senior bowl
Jawilder said on 4/Mar/22
@viper Never mind, he got 6’0 5/8. Waiting for LSU kicker Cade York to get measured. I’ve seen him a couple times up close and he’s about the same height as me.
viper said on 4/Mar/22
Just comparing the tight end measurements, I've never seen a bigger discrepancy between combine and senior bowl
viper said on 4/Mar/22
Players measured way taller at the combine.

Daniel Belinger measured 6-4.7 at the combine and 6-4.2 at the senior bowl. Never seen that before
viper said on 4/Mar/22
Interesting how I have bigger hands by half an inch over Kenny Pickett at the same height. And my hands arnt that big
viper said on 4/Mar/22
Howell measured 6-0.5

Not 6-1

David Tang said on 4/Mar/22
Hey guys and rob, how tall do you think Jamarr chase and even white are? Chase measured 6’ 3/8 and white 6’ 1/8. But both look a good 1/2 shorter at the most from their listings.
Editor Rob
There is always a chance some players get a positive/earlier measurement in which they are within 1/4 inch of morning height.
Jawilder said on 3/Mar/22
@viper Howell got measured 6’1 flat at combine after 6’0.25 senior bowl. Matt Corral got measured 6’1 5/8 at combine, but there is no way he is that tall.
ChaosControl1 said on 23/Feb/22
I think the 6’4 3/8 must’ve been in studs given that NFL players apparently wear them. I own a pair of studs and they add very close to 2” (I have measurements at 6’4 7/8 and 6’5 in them when I’m 6’3 barefoot) so if Shawne had something similar on it makes sense why he measured it while only looking a strong 6’2
Canson said on 22/Feb/22
@Viper: and you would think those were in the morning. But I’ll also say that it’s possible he dips to 6’1 7/8” or so or both measurements were the same time or they used the same one. I’ve noticed Carson Wentz has 6’5 1/8 Pro Day 6’5 1/4” at both Combine and Senior Bowl. I think Wentz is a solid 6’5 guy afternoon and 6’5 1/8 lunchtime which is prob when it was taken. 6’5.75 out of bed for him
Canson said on 19/Feb/22
@Viper: his Pro Day was 6’2 3/8”. That seems more accurate than 6’4 3/8” Maybe his posture wasn’t good if you thought 6’1.5-6’2. Yea if the Terps listed him at 6’3 he likely wasn’t 6’4”.
viper said on 16/Feb/22
Rob don't you think Leonard's measurements are legit.

He measured 6-2.0 and weighed 234 at the combine.

He measured 6-2.0 and weighed 229 at the senior bowl.
Editor Rob
He's one case who definitely can look taller than the measurement figures. The reverse Merriman!
viper said on 15/Feb/22
Darius Leonard looks 6-4 with 6-1 Javon Hargrave.

Editor Rob
maybe Javon a bit further behind there, making it look even more.

To be fair Hardwick is a bit closer to the camera, yet it's still obvious he's taller

Merriman looks no more than 6-2 with 6-3 Nick Hardwick.

Makes sense Merriman measured 6-2 at his pro day being listed 6-3 in college

DK Metcalf only looks 6-1 next to 6-0 AJ Brown in the last pic here.

Canson said on 3/Feb/22
@Viper: you mean 6’5.75 Bennett. I remember you showed him measuring that once and he was only 6’6 1/8 morning. It’s conceivable that Bennett dips to 6’5 5/8 really given how tall he is especially when you also showed Marcedes Lewis going 1/2” below his combine of 6’6 3/8 to 6’5 7/8”
viper said on 1/Feb/22
Best evidence we have is Merriman with perfect posture barefoot next to 6-6 Martellus Bennett and looking 6-2
Canson said on 1/Feb/22
@Viper: he’s not standing completely straight with him. I’d say he looks at least 6’2” there
viper said on 31/Jan/22
6-2 Geno Smith looks much taller physically than Merriman. I'd like to see a pic of him and his teammate Metcalf together
Canson said on 31/Jan/22
@Editor Rob: how much of a difference does this look? Viper has a point that it’s a big difference but I’m not seeing as much as 6”. Maybe once footwear is accounted for it’s 5”.

Click Here

Dawand Jones shows 6’7.2 on his measurement but of course that’s likely earlier in the day. Maybe the full 6’7”.
Editor Rob
I think 5 inches and change, considering the big guy has a fraction less footwear.
viper said on 31/Jan/22
"Just looked at UNC football roster and saw Sam Howell at 6’1.25”, he is listed 6’0.75” on draft scout, which he looks like."

Howell measured no more than 6-0.2 at the senior bowl, just as I predicted.
Jawilder said on 31/Jan/22
Click Here

What do y’all think the height difference is in this picture with Burrow and Mahomes? I’m thinking an inch at most but probably a bit under.
viper said on 31/Jan/22
Canson how tall do you think Merriman looks with 5-8 Austin Ekeler. I see no more than 6-1. Click Here
viper said on 30/Jan/22
Merriman looks the 6-1.5-6-2 that I saw in that other Hardwick pic. So there you would think Hardwick's measurement is legit.

It's very obvious 6-3.5 Ware is taller
Canson said on 30/Jan/22
@Viper: I don’t either but I doubt he’s 6’4 7/8” at his afternoon or even lunchtime height. I could see maybe 194-195 cm range. Maybe 6’4 5/8 or so best case
viper said on 29/Jan/22
Only seen one measurement for Osgood.
viper said on 29/Jan/22
And yet Merriman looks 6-1.5-6-2 next to Hardwick in the other pic
viper said on 28/Jan/22
Hardwick barely looks taller than 6-0 Melvin Gordon. Click Here

There is also a pic on Instagram/twitter where 6-3 DDP has an inch on him.
viper said on 28/Jan/22
Interesting how Hardwick only looks 6-1 next to 6-7 Dawand Jones in sandals.

Click Here
viper said on 28/Jan/22
Then apparently Merriman shrunk
Canson said on 28/Jan/22
He’s taller than Hardwick (angle helps a bit) but shorter than 6’4 7/8 Kasim Osgood. Not sure how early of a measurement that is for Osgood. Suffice to say he’s probably at least 6’4.5”. That said Merriman does hold up to at least 6’3” in that one with Osgood and possibly 6’3.5 or even 6’4 with Hardwick there assuming Hardwick May also not be a low and May only be 6’3” flat. Also looks 6’3 or so next to LaDanian Tomlinson

@Viper: Merriman actually can look slightly taller than Metcalf in that pic but I don’t agree about footwear. It doesn’t look like Merriman has less. Metcalf is probably more like 6’3” flat based on time of day so Merriman may look near what Rob has him although that isn’t the best pic either. Also, with DeMarcus Ware, Merriman has a noticeable slouch. Btw is there a pro day or senior bowl for Osgood?

I think all things considered,
viper said on 28/Jan/22

Clearly taller than DK Metcalf, who was supposedly measured at 6'3 3/8: Click Here
Jawilder said on 22/Jan/22
Merriman is probably 6’2.25-6’2.5” imo
Canson said on 20/Jan/22
You’re 6’1.5-6’2
Jawilder said on 20/Jan/22
Burrow can look over 6’3 a good bit and also under, so 6’3 flat would seem reasonable. He is probably a little over two inches taller than Jamarr Chase who is 6 feet flat, and didn’t see more than two inches with him and Mayfield. Also got a 6’2 5/8 measurement at LSU. He does look at least 6’3 with Fields tho for sure. Anywhere between 6’2.5-6’3 flat is my guess.
viper said on 17/Jan/22
Ian he's definitely no 191-192

Not sure how Burrow is under 6-3 when he clearly looks taller than Justin Fields who measured 6-2.6
viper said on 15/Jan/22
Ian I've seen him up close and he looked 6-1.5-6-2
Canson said on 15/Jan/22
@Ian: that’s the problem. He looks taller and shorter based on the pic. Merriman did measure 6’2 3/8 before. He looks shorter than Vernon Davis who is 6’3 in person

@Viper: that’s prob what Wilhelm is. I was off but I doubt Merriman is 6’4

He’s certainly not 2 or 2.5” taller than Godfrey and doesn’t even look an inch taller. This is a good pic as far as footwear goes at least because they’d all have the same. He really doesn’t even look an inch taller. He looks slightly shorter than Godfrey but we can add an inch if posture which puts him around his combine measurement of 6’2 3/8”. I wonder if he wears some puffy footwear or thicker socks at times. Also number 57 is Matt Wilhelm. He’s listed 6’4 in places and 6’2 in others just like Merriman. He allegedly measured 6’3 3/4” but doesn’t look it. I’d say he’s probably 6’2ish

@Editor Rob: and Young is a morning 6’4 5/8 so even by lunch you’re talking a best case of 6’4.5 or 6’4 3/8” and 6’4.25 perhaps afternoon. That said Merriman clearly isn’t 6’3.5”. Next to Young it’s clear he’s under 6’3 but if anything due to the uncertainty, 6’3 is the best case for a listing. Remember the body builder Quincy Taylor that measured 6’4.25-.375 in boots and was given 6’4.5 by the people measuring him. Merriman is likely a similar case and it won’t surprise me if it’s a morning measurement for merriman

@Editor Rob: in the video of Merriman that you posted you included the pic of Merriman with Sanchez but not Vince Young who measured 6’4 5/8 at the combine. Here he looks 6’2”. Same with the video of Martellus Bennett who showed 6’5.75 in an alternate measurement by the cowboys and that’s at least 3”

That's weird for Burrow. Thought he was 6-3
Canson said on 10/Nov/21
@Viper: 6’1 3/8 here. Not sure which event but it’s likely that’s not a low and that he’s probably much much closer to 6’1” than 6’2 later in the day

Jawilder said on 10/Nov/21
@viper Yeah, Najee Harris is 6’1 flat at a low. People like to say he is taller because he’s already a tall running back. I noticed that ND players are a little inflated on their site, but not much. Just looked at UNC football roster and saw Sam Howell at 6’1.25”, he is listed 6’0.75” on draft scout, which he looks like.
Canson said on 9/Nov/21
@Viper: I wonder if this site is wrong. They lost Burrow at 6’2.5” when he supposedly measured 6’3.5”. Haven’t studied his height enough. How tall would you say he really is? I’ve even seen 6’3 5/8 for Joe before

@Viper: he looks taller than that with Woodson. But he has a footwear advantage. Cameras don’t help the situation either. If you saw them at full view I would almost believe Rob’s listing for Merriman being Woodson would be below his eyebrows. But is Woodson still 5’11 today? Or under? Merriman I doubt is over what he measured though

it's certainly hard to imagine him measuring 6ft 4 3/8ths on a stadiometer.

That's absolute bare minimum 3 inches between Rosario and Merriman.

He really makes Adam Jones look 6-1 at the very most
Canson said on 7/Sep/21
@Editor Rob: is Merriman really over 3 1/2” taller than Brees? Brees was 5’11 7/8 in one measurement. That doesn’t even look 3” if Brees were straighter but 6’3 is better than 6’3.5” he looks what he measured at the Pro Day 6’2 3/8”. That’s likely not 3”

Merriman is the enigma of CelebHeights...just when you think he's sub 6ft 3, there is stuff out there which makes you wonder about that.
Canson said on 4/Sep/21
@Viper: I’m undecided on him. Need to see more. 5’11 range is where I would def look first but I don’t think he’s over that. 5’10/5’11 is possible though. What I do know is that 6’3.5 is a joke for Merriman. He is clearly not that tall. He was shorter than Barkley and Seagal too. I have Seagal at 6’3” today and 6’4” peak. He’s lost a full inch. Barkley may be just my height today and peak was a weak 6’5 (6’4 5/8 he measured)

The pic with the Rock is telling as they were very close in height. 6’3 is a good listing
Canson said on 3/Sep/21
@RJT: he has some other pics with guys where he can look taller. Not sure if they’re accurate. I can see 6’2-6’3 range as a possibility. Under 6’2 like Viper said looks a bit low but he does look it with Martellus Bennett and he was described as 6’2” by Rudy Gay. He looks 6’2-6’3 with Shawn Kemp and with Drew Brees along with LaDanian Tomlinson

@Chaos: I agree. 6’3 is a bit more justifiable. Someone even called him 6’3” in the comment section of the video where the nurse measured him. But it’s probably not a solid 6’3 seeing him with Vince Young or with Martellus Bennett. With Bennett, he can look what Viper said he looked tbh 6’1.5-6’2
RJT said on 3/Sep/21
@Canson

I think he's 6'2 range guys cause of his proportion but have you seen this?
Click Here

Tebow is at least 6'2 cause he got 6'2.75" measurement even if that was morning and yet Merriman look at least 2" taller.... was Tebow in driving shoes and Merriman in heels? 😂
ChaosControl said on 3/Sep/21
Rob can you at least lower this guy to 6’3? Then it’s semi/justifiable as morning height
ChaosControl said on 2/Sep/21
You know what Canson I think we’ve got this guy’s height figured out
Canson said on 2/Sep/21
@Chaos Control: he also had the video where the nurse claimed 6’4 1/2 for him but he tried to negotiate 6’5”. I wonder about this one. Maybe some studs lol. That would add up though. Could’ve been 6’2 3/8 and gotten 2” with some footwear. He had a pro day at 6’2 3/8 I think
ChaosControl said on 2/Sep/21
Given that cleats and studs are the same thing according to Google, I can definitely say that I have a mark on my wall where my afternoon measurement of 6’2.5 is. One morning before gong to train with my team, probably 8.30-9am because I leave for training at 9.15-9.30, I put my kit on and decided out of curiosity to see how much taller I was. I got out a ruler and seemed to be 4.7cm taller, or 1” 7/8. So I know how much studs, or cleats, or whatever you wanna call them, add to your height. So I know how much studs add. If Shawne is 6’2.5 he could have measured 6’4 3/8 in the boots, you’ve just helped confirm it
Canson said on 1/Sep/21
@Chaos: he did joke about wearing “3 pairs of socks” at the combine. Viper and I both caught that one lol. Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in cleats, the extra socks and early morning or if 6’2 3/8 is the actual measurement since that’s what he measured at the Pro Day lol. We’ve seen some where they use the Pro Day measurement instead of the combine. Yea at most he’s about the same height as you but it wouldn’t surprise me if you’re slightly taller than he is. Vernon Davis always looked taller and then here he is with 6’4 5/8 measured Vince Young. Young was likely morning and he’s probably my height five or take 1/8”.

Click Here

Then there is the infamous video that was posted about 3 years ago that Viper, Rising, Christian, and I did an extensive analysis on. He was with 6’6 1/8” combine measured Martellus Bennett who Viper also pointed out only had a 6’5 3/4” measurement on the Cowboys roster. This same cowboys roster had a 6’5 3/4 combine measured Jason Witten at 6’5” flat. The latter only looks 6’5” on Monday Night Football. But he’s a solid 6’5 who doesn’t dip below. But makes sense with the combine being early morning. Ive seen some large variances from measurements later in the day such as LaMont Jordan from the Jets/Raiders who is 5’9.5” and has that on record but was 5’10.25 at the combine. Merriman looks as tall with Bennett as the Rock looks next to Anthony Joshua. Viper suggested when he saw him up close that he may only be a weak 6’2”. I actually saw him (at the same game at UMD as Viper I believe) and was too far from him to make an assessment. I just assumed he was probably the 6’3 MD listed him or 6’4” but I wasn’t as height aware in the mid 2000s especially from that distance.

Canson said on 31/Aug/21
@Chaos: they wear cleats
ChaosControl said on 31/Aug/21
I highly doubt he’s anything taller than me but studs do add 1 7/8” which would get him that measurement. Nobody would make up 8ths of an inch they might as well just say 6’4.5 or 6’5
ChaosControl said on 31/Aug/21
Canson do they wear studs?
RJT said on 30/Aug/21

He doesn't have 6'3.5" proportion let alone near 6'5.

@Chaos: definitely possible
ChaosControl said on 28/Aug/21
What footwear do NFL players wear for games? I’m wondering if the 6’4 3/8 was in studs if he’s 6’2.5 barefoot. I know I’m 6’3 first thing in the morning and measuring at that time with studs on I’m 6’4 7/8

Look at just how much taller 6-3 DK Metcalf looks compared to Merriman

It's obvious
Canson said on 17/Aug/21
@Viper: young is a bit over 6’4 but Merriman looks his pro day height with him at best. Young was 6’4 5/8 so chances are 6’4.25” afternoon
Canson said on 17/Aug/21
@Viper: I don’t see a pic with Rooks. That’s Tracy Murray next to him. Murray looks 6’5 maybe 6’5 and change if Rooks is 6’9”. But that makes sense because he was listed 6’7” by the league
viper said on 17/Aug/21
It's so obvious Merriman isn't taller than 6-2

@Viper: it’s been years since I’ve seen him or I’ll say we since it seems like the same game we were at. You were closer to him than me. I figured he was 6’3 like he was listed at MD or even 6’4 but didn’t think anything of it. I was not close to him. It was from a distance. I was surprised to see the 6’4 3/8 measurement but it was a mistake in my opinion. I can tell he isn’t as tall as I Am. He really doesn’t look as tall as Vernon Davis who I have seen up close and is 6’3”. But again I wasn’t close enough to give a qualified opinion. But he never looks close to 6’4 imho. Rob has him listed too high. 6’3 flat should be the listing if he isn’t certain imho

@Editor Rob: may be up and down like a Yo Yo but he’s clearly not 6’3.5”. At least a solid 6’3” almost aligns with how he may come out at a combine if he measured 6’2 3/8” at the Pro Day. It looks high still but since you have other players listed at morning heights it almost fits in. One thing is certain, Merriman is not taller than Vernon Davis who is 6’3”
Editor Rob
I looked at Shawne again on 26th july and still wasn't so convinced on 6ft 2.5-3.
